Wine Tasting!

This weekend was so much fun!  Friday night we went to see my little sister in a play at her high school.  She was a towns person in the play Music Man!

(sorry, it's a little blurry!)

Then Saturday morning I had a bridal show at the Carl House with my friend Melanie.  If you are looking to book a wedding this is a wonderful place to look into!  The ladies who run the place were great and I really enjoyed meeting them.  They would be very easy to work with!  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Here's the table. 

We gave out bags to brides who wanted to schedule shows in order to purchase their jewelry for their big day.  No one had ever heard of Stella & Dot so it was really fun showing it off and watching everyone get excited about it!

At the end of a long, but fun day!

Then Matt and I both had fun nights planned...Matt had a guys night out and I was having a girls night in.  Well, the guys night got postponed at the last minute, so I rescheduled with my fun girls!  Thankfully, we were able to join some sweet friends on a wine tasting adventure!  I had never done that before, but it was oh so fun!  We headed to Frogtown Winery in Dahlonega, GA.  If you've never been you should definitely visit.  It was such a pretty view to take in!

The guys in their "matching" clothes.  Definitely not planned...I guess these are a staple in a guys wardrobe ;)

The guys tried the red wines.  They said they really enjoyed the selection.

(Beth & Lauren)

Lauren and I tried the sweet selection.  There were some red wines that were sweet and I was so glad to be introduced to them!  We will definitely be going back there to visit!

We sat outside on the porch and looked over this view.  It was almost the perfect weather. 

Then once we finished there we headed to a mexican restaurant for dinner.  Fun stories shared by all!

Sunday we had a potluck brunch and then spent the day at home enjoying some down time.  We LOVE the show the O.C.  MR.P got me the first season for my bday, so we watched a few of those episodes.  Don't you love those kind of weekends!  Busy on the front end and then taking it easy before you start your week back up?  That's the way it should always be :)  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Happy Monday!

Blogger Meet Up!

Last Fall I posted this post and randomly became friends with Abby @ Tales and Trials.  We found out we had tons of the same friends!  Me to myself, "Ok, she's safe...I can be friends with her."  Oh, and we just so happen to only be 45 min away from each other!  We became fast friends and talk about pretty much anything!  We decided it was time to meet up so we did.  We planned to meet at Buckhead Pizza, but of course there was a TERRIBLE wreck right where Abby was coming from.  So we broke the ice quickly by talking on the phone trying to get her to our destination.  Once we got her safely to the restaurant we enjoyed a great lunch.  Then we headed to Queen of Hearts Antiques!  We had a blast walking around finding our favorite things!  I look forward to our next hang out time.

Sweet friends that kept me company this week

So I can now tell you that MR.P has been gone for 2 full weeks!!  He will be home today and I can barely concentrate!  So during these 2 weeks I have had sweet friends and family to keep me company.  I have appreciated everyone so much, I can't even begin to express myself. 
Day 1 my sweet sisters-in-law came over after church and spent the entire day with me!  How incredibly sweet of them :)

(This is an old picture, but I love it.  This was for my girls weekend before MR.P and I got married.)

Day 2 I had Dgroup (bible study).  They all kept me great company.  I don't have a picture of them all, but they know who they are :)   BUT, my sister in law "Beans" came over @ 9:45 that night because I got a little scared.  I'm such a whimp!  As a thank you I got her a Vanilla Coke from Sonic.  She said it made her night.

(She caught the bouquet at our wedding :)  too funny!)

Day 3 I went and spent some time with my friend Katie!  I went to her house and she made me the best dinner ever!  We hung out for a little while, ran to target and then Wal-mart.  It makes me so sad that my time with her goes by so fast!  We live pretty far away from each other so we have to make the most out of our time together.

(pic from my girls weekend before MR.P and I got married)

Day 4 my mom spent some time with me. It was soo nice to get some alone time with my mom. We went shopping for some crafts for a sisters/girls night we are planning :) Oh and "Beans" came over again.

 Day 5  My friend from college came over that I haven't seen in years!  She was so sweet to come eat dinner with me and just hang out.  Then "Beans" came over again...is it getting hold yet?  Just kidding.  I appreciated everything she did for me these past 2 weeks.

Day 6 I had the wives of the guys that were out of town with MR.P over for dinner.  We had a blast.  We got take out, talked, and just had fun.  One of the girls has a mac and so does her husband.  So we planned for us all to talk with our husbands.  Soo much fun!

(MR.P is on the far right side)

It was SOOO nice seeing MR.P's face.  I missed that face A LOT!!!

Day 7 my friend Joy came to visit.  We had a great time.  We went shopping, had lunch, talked a TON, and just relaxed.  I really appreciated her coming to visit.  It was exactly what I needed :)

(We tried way too many times to get this pic right...sad!)

Day 8 I visited a new Church that MR.P and I are looking into.  My newest niece fell asleep on my chest and it made my day!  I guess she knew I needed her since I was husbandless during church.  Then my sisters and I headed to celebrate my "little" brother's 15th bday.  The whole family was there except MR.P.  Sad day :(  We all missed him a lot!  Then us girls went and did a little shopping.  This is only 3 out of the 6 of us (my mom included).

(We were sending a little hello text to MR.P)

Day 9 I had Dgroup again.  This week we did a little Thanksgiving celebration.  I finally got a pic of all of us!

Day 10 "Beans" came over again. 

Day 11 I went to my sister Laura's house.  She has 3 sweet, precious girls and I got to spend a little time with them.  We moved some furniture around in her house to make it flow better.  That was fun!  We were going to turn her bonus room into their play room, but it got a little late.  Bummer...we'll do it next time.

(this is us with her new precious baby, Elizabeth Anne)

Day 12 My 2 sisters-in-law came over for dinner.  We went the easy route and got Moe's.  It also happened to be my favorite night of tv, so that entertained us.

Day 13 Because he won't be home for a while today I will have to entertain myself.  I work all day and then have a few errands I need to run.  But, I tell you, I miss that MR.P.  I can't wait to see him tonight! 

Sorry for the long post.  I just wanted everyone to get a shout out who so sweetly entertained me even though I was probably pathetically missing MR.P.  Thanks everyone!
